Man charged and police appeal after multiple stabbing in broad daylight in Bolton
Emily Sergeant
A man has been charged after multiple people were stabbed during broad daylight in Bolton earlier this week.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) explained that, at around 10:30am on Tuesday morning (21 April), officers were called to reports of a stabbing on Tonge Moor Road in Bolton, and once emergency services arrived on the scene, they found two injured men – who were treated by medical professionals for stab wounds.
Police immediately responded to the incident, and a man in his 50s was subsequently arrested on suspicion of assault.
He remains in custody for questioning at this time, and enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances of the incident.
Following the initial statement provided by police, the man has now been publicly named as Stephen Nolan, a resident of Tonge Moor Road in Bolton – where the incident occurred – and he has been charged with grievous bodily harm, and an attempted section 18 assault.

Trains to start running to and from Manchester Airport all night from next month
Emily Sergeant
A new train timetable is being introduced next month, and it means services are to start running all night to and from Manchester Airport.
Thanks to train operator TransPennine Express (TPE), eight new services are set to be introduced from Sunday 17 May onwards – which is when, alongside the rest of the rail industry, the company will be introducing a new timetable – and this means there will be a train roughly every hour between Manchester Piccadilly and Manchester Airport all day, every day.
The move to introduce these new services is aimed at ‘improving connectivity’ for passengers travelling early in the morning or late at night, TPE explained.
As mentioned, the new airport trains also accompany a number of other upcoming additional services across Greater Manchester and the North West as a whole.
Passengers can expect to see additional weekday stops on peak-time Leeds to Manchester Piccadilly services to support students and commuters.
Extra services will also be added for a month over the summer during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
“Although most of our services are unchanged, we encourage customers to take a moment to check any journeys they make regularly,” commented Andrew McClements, who is the Customer Experience & Transformation Director at TPE, ahead of the new timetable being rolled out next month.
